Looking for Positive things done by this administration

sammythebu11 · 11-18-2009, 08:06 AM

SERIOUSLY, I want this to be a positive thread.
I have been thinking lately that it's impossible that everything this administration has done is bad, I have been trying to come up with a list of positive things and so far I have come up EMPTY.
this is not sarcastic or ironic, I am seriously trying to find some positive arguments for this administration so at least I can have hope that we are not racing towards a cliff with no brakes.
I refuse to believe that this administration is intentionally trying to screw this country but they are making it very hard for me to support what they are doing, I (as I'm sure all of you) want the best for our future and our kids future so please help me understand how this is positive or at least moving in the right direction.

thanks,

Sam

sammythebu11 · 11-18-2009, 09:30 AM

Now HONESTLY, what did he do to deserve that?

Uncle Buck · 11-18-2009, 09:37 AM

By not being assassinated within the first week.

mneptune · 11-18-2009, 09:47 AM

Stll thinking about it and I can't come up with anything positive or even neutral....

mneptune · 11-18-2009, 09:49 AM

and you can bet he will be taken to a non-us prsion where he won't be given the rights to a US court that the 9/11 conspirators have now be given.... this country is getting more and more phucked up by the day.

Uncle Buck · 11-18-2009, 10:49 AM

Hey... that was a compliment! Even that beloved actor Reagan took a bullet for his Country.

quack quack · 11-18-2009, 11:38 AM

I did a google search for this. Not a lot of positive answers. But I did find a good thing he did in my opinion. He opened up fed funds for stem cell research. Look at some of these answers.

someone please tell me what Obama has done for us?

Not the only terrible president to get the nobel prize (Carter) but he is the only one to be nominated only 2 weeks after inauguration

Capt. JJ · 11-18-2009, 03:11 PM

He authorized the Navy SEALS to shoot those pirates in the head off of Somalia in order to rescue US citizens. What did the Spanish do? They gave the pirates $3.3 million. Just sayin'.

Uncle Buck · 11-18-2009, 04:06 PM

Okay... he's got 1 point.

Ok, ok, I guess he did one good thing.

sammythebu11 · 11-18-2009, 05:53 PM

OK, we found ONE thing, now I feel better....

Capt. JJ · 11-18-2009, 06:32 PM

Glad to help!

Tackle Engineer · 11-18-2009, 08:05 PM

He may have authorized it but it was not his idea. It was the Admiral on the ship the Seals came off of. That takes back half of the One good thing done......

sorry to bust the socialist bubble

Capt. JJ · 11-18-2009, 09:14 PM

He didn't negotiate with pirates, the Spaniards did. Give the guy the full point. Or I'm gonna paint my boat black and rob every Sea Ray in sight plowing along the no-wake zones in the ICW. Yarrrrrr.

krisis7 · 11-19-2009, 09:42 AM

He has given us much to laugh at and talk about....

bajakian · 11-19-2009, 11:48 AM

Obama (Arthur) caught a big sword last night. Does that count??

HURRIKANEIII · 11-19-2009, 11:48 AM

TTesterman · 11-19-2009, 01:09 PM

I just got done with a sea trial and I heard his new health reform will be going through... but the man there said that when it comes time to collect for health care they will have to hit the employees up at a 60 / 40 split on paying their share... (because there is no way in hell they can pay what he wants..) ... and that some people are way happy about getting their bonuses again this year... and look how much paper we have saved by not having to use it for home loans, house loans, car loans or even school loans. and even though we had a good car company called saturn (that built real good lasting cars for the U.S. we sold that to the same share holders that make hyunda... there are a damn sight less people out in their boats due to our economy and ethanol crap fuels.. and some people are getting to move out of their homes because of the way this economy is going so I guess they get to see America more.. sorta like a road trip.. / new adventure.. they are STILL trying to spend a crap load of $ on an airport over top my house here in unicorporated ft lauderdale so it makes some of us get off our butts to go fight for our homes so thats at least energetic... I say we are doing good

NOT!!! oh and when are we going to see the job list he was going to create???

I do not get into that many fights but our new administration is KILLING AMERICA as I see it... put me on any list you want from there... I would like to sit down and talk to him, pelosi and all the people from Dubai and tell them where to go...

my wife says I am not very nice when things are wrong like this.. hell with being p.c. !

oh ps: not sorry if I offended anyone...!

what was the question again???

Sorry Obama's swordfish does not count unless he "spreads the wealth" of that swordfish with every American who did not catch a swordfish last night.
